Urges U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to use existing paratransit networks for disabled veterans in New Jersey.

This resolution urges the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to utilize and fund existing paratransit transportation networks to transport disabled veterans to and from its New Jersey medical centers. Currently, non-profit organizations provide free van transportation, but these organizations should not bear the responsibility for properly coordinated VA-funded patient transport. The resolution highlights the need for improved transportation services, as many veterans report being left at facilities for hours, overnight, and in adverse weather conditions.
